Who qualifies for Finasteride or Dutasteride

Our EU-licensed doctors assess your suitability for Finasteride or Dutasteride based on your medical history and specific hair loss pattern. They look for signs of androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness) and rule out other underlying causes. Generally, these medications are considered for men experiencing male pattern baldness. For women, Finasteride is usually not prescribed due to potential risks, especially during pregnancy, and Dutasteride is rarely considered. The doctor will evaluate:

  • Your age and medical history.
  • The pattern and extent of your hair loss.
  • Any existing medical conditions or medications you are taking.
  • Your understanding of the treatment and potential side effects.

The doctor remains the gatekeeper, ensuring the treatment is safe and appropriate for your specific situation. If the doctor finds Finasteride or Dutasteride is not suitable, you pay nothing — your €25 is refunded.

What Finasteride and Dutasteride actually do (and don't do)

Finasteride and Dutasteride are oral medications that target the root cause of male pattern baldness: dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Both work by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase, which converts testosterone into DHT. DHT shrinks hair follicles, leading to thinning and eventual hair loss. By reducing DHT levels:

  • They slow down hair loss: The primary goal is to prevent further thinning and preserve existing hair.
  • They can promote regrowth: Some users experience new hair growth, often finer initially, which can thicken over time.
  • They require consistency: Results are maintained only as long as you continue taking the medication. If you stop, hair loss will likely resume within several months.

What they don't do: These medications are not a cure for baldness, nor do they work for all types of hair loss. They are most effective for androgenetic alopecia and typically require several months of consistent use to show noticeable results. They also do not address hair loss caused by stress, nutritional deficiencies, or other medical conditions.

Side effects and when to stop

While generally well-tolerated, Finasteride and Dutasteride can have potential side effects. It's important to be aware of these and discuss them with your doctor during your online consultation. Common side effects can include:

  • Decreased libido.
  • Erectile dysfunction.
  • Ejaculation disorders.
  • Rarely, mood changes or depression.
  • Breast tenderness or enlargement.

These side effects are usually reversible upon stopping the medication. Your doctor will provide detailed information and advise you on when to seek further medical attention or discontinue treatment. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact a healthcare professional immediately. The EU-licensed doctor will discuss these risks with you before issuing a prescription for Finasteride or Dutasteride.
